Adding magento to an existing website - magento

I was curious if anyone knows if it is possible to add magento to an existing website. I want the website look the same. The website has products and buttons/links for adding to shopping cart, but it has no shopping cart functionality. Is this possible? If so, where could I read up on this? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

You could add some magento functionality by including the Mage.php file in your normal non-magento website. This would allow you to perform magento operations (such as add to cart, ...)
Example:
<?php
include("location/to/app/Mage.php");
Mage::app();
// Any magento code is possible here :)
?>

Magento : Allow the customer to add a comment when adding a product to cart

I'm working on a Magento shop and I want to give the customers the possibility to add a comment when they put a product in cart.
The comment can contain specifications about the ordrered product. It must be visible in the checkout, in the confirmation email and in the admin sales interface.
Is there a way to do that with the standard Magento configuration? Or does a module exist?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Have a look at this extension, See the screenshots.

This may helpful for you, I have used this in a project, it works well.
But as you saying customer should add comment while adding product, you need to customize this extenion a bit.
Cheers :-)

If you want a Magento frontend view which is admin manageable (with your own custom database tables) try this piece I wrote: link. Hope it suits you.
You should add a custom module to add that.

Magento Shopper Theme add to cart not working

I'm using the Magento Shopper Theme (http://shopper.queldorei.com/).
When I add a product to cart, cart doesn't update and show the products added to cart. But if I refresh the page, then it shows the products added in the cart.
Does anybody have an idea of what to do to fix this?
This is your problem. Use chromes debugger to debug ajax requests. Also, you are including jquery but it doesn't exist at the URL specified.
Please Check you have included more that 1 jquery files .
